First day of School
Erin started school this year. She was very excited and was all ready to go early. She had said she would walk to the bus stop by herself. Its across the street. She did decide Mom and Dad and Grandma Glee could walk with her....Pictures were taken and all the usual stuff. "We", meaning Lenny are working on our kitchen. I did do some things like pick out paint colors and made 3 trips to Lowes to buy hinges and door handles. Who knew there were so many kinds of hinges. There are just plain ones that are not inset. I purchased those first. Then there are the inset ones which I purchased second. THEN there are the inset ones with little springs in them so they close all by themselves. Those I bought on the third try at getting it right. They are being installed as I speak. There actually was a small problem there too as in the bins of 50 different hinges at Lowes they are all mixed up. I should have examined all 35 packages of them to make sure they were all the same. We have 5 packages that are a different color of metal. People must just pick them up and throw them back in different bins. Its nice to have lots of cupboards but 35 doors is a lot when it comes to paying for them. Thats 35 handles too. Luckily the drawers do not have handles or pulls, whatever they are called. Looking good. I will take pictures when the job is done. Next project is to remove the wallpaper. I have a feeling that when we are done people looking to purchase a house will say they would have bought it if it only had old dark wood cupboards and lovely out-dated wallpaper! Looks like no one will ever buy it so we may as well have it look better for ourselves.

Princess Jade
Jade will be three years old the end of this month. All my granddaughters except Erin and Kass are born in August, so a busy month for this family. We went to Minnesota on Thursday so we were there for Emily's 9th birthday party. Was a really great party. Jade liked Emily's toys and playing with the "big" kids. The photo is of her all dressed up as a princess. Sometimes she is batman too or various other super heros or cartoon charactors. Emily liked to be a princess too, in fact she IS a princess. Erin and Kass kind of liked dressing up as dogs. That Scooby costume of Erin's is well loved and well worn and straining at the seams. I think she needs a new Scooby costume, although she plans to be Dorothy (Wizard Of Oz) for Trick or treating this year. Oh, Kass does not pretend to be a dog any more.

OUR LITTLE FIRECRACKER!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KASSIE! All my granchildren hold a special place in my heart and all grandmothers know what I mean. Fifteen years ago I watched Kassie come into this world..I was the first person to see her except for the medical people of course. That mop of dark hair and big dark eyes made her look just like her grandpa who had left this earth 15 months before. He certainly loves our Kassie as he adored all his grandchildren. When I came out of the hospital that 4th of July night fireworks were going off all around me. It certainly matched my happy mood after meeting Kassie for the first time. Kassie you have been a constant joy these fifteen years, making me laugh at times and also making me proud of your achievements and talents. You are a wonderful special person. So have a fun birthday. All those fireworks really are for you! Love from your Grandma.
